Synopsis
Amazingly, it’s neither written nor directed by Richard Curtis: ‘The Decoy Bride’ concerns a fabulously famous Hollywood actress (Alice Eve) who, cracking under the pressure of paparazzi attention, flees on the eve of her wedding to true love David Tennant. When Tennant and co decide to hire a stand-in (Kelly Macdonald) to put the paps off the scent, might there be a new romance in the offing? Written by much-loved ‘Alan Partridge’ alumnus Sally Phillips and directed by TV veteran Sheree Folkson, ‘The Decoy Bride’ has all the ingredients to be either the surprise homegrown smash of 2012, or another slice of best-forgotten sub-Curtis romantic sludge. Our money’s on the former – but only time will tell.
